DeskRipple

DeskRipple keeps each group of shortcuts in a single folder icon on your Windows desktop. Hover or click an icon and it opens into a panel of its shortcuts, then closes back to one icon when you're done, so the desktop stays clear without burying anything. The icons sit with your normal desktop icons, behind your windows and snapped to the real grid, and each folder can open as a Grid, Column, Row, Fan, or 360° Ring. Shortcuts you drag in are archived, not deleted: remove one or uninstall and it's restored to the desktop. Works on Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit), with no account and a code-signed installer. Free during the public beta. A one-time paid version is planned later (not a subscription), and beta testers get a founder discount. Beta builds auto-update, and this build stops working on September 1, 2026.
